Episode 191: Christmas 2014!

It's time for our Annual Christmas Episode! It's Very Special!
Chuck and Brad are joined by Senior Discount guitarist and self-proclaimed "Grinchspert" Eric Maksood for another Christmas episode. Maksood starts the festivities off right by telling a story of one young man (Maksood) and his sexual encounter gone awry. Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Brad tries to redeem the Christmas spirit by talking about his gift from Chuck - a "Bradvent Calendar." The innocence restored, the guys talk about a recent play the three of them went to see together.
Brad then turns to the Two Wise Men (Chuck claims he's actually wise enough for 2 and a half men, so the math checks out) (that's a joke about Maksood's lack of wisdom) (we love him) for advice - is sending a Secret Admirer Christmas Card a good idea? Should he do it?
Maksood then turns to the 25 Wise Men (Still just Chuck and Brad) for advice about getting a gift for a new lady in his life.
Personal matters aside, the guys talk about some things they either discovered this Christmas or forgot to talk about on previous Christmas episodes. Chuck and Eric talk about the Pentatonix Christmas album, the Straight No Chaser/Kristen Bell song "Text Me Merry Christmas, and the Michael Buble/Idina Menzel duet on "Baby, It's Cold Outside." Maksood recommends Seth Macfarlane's holiday album, and the three fellows talk about the new Toy Story special and the several-years-old-but-new-to-Chuck "Prep and Landing."
The podcast closes with a discussion of the behind-the-scenes of "Fug On The Rooftop," a recent Senior Discount prank! To all a good night!

Episode 190: Our "Home Alone" Commentary

For the first time EVER, Chuck and Brad set their sites on Hollywood and Christmas and produce a commentary track! Joined by local large-chinned animal Patrick Dennis, the boys provide a running commentary of the movie "Home Alone."
You'll probably want to have Home Alone queued up for this one. It's like MST3K or Rifftrax or any other copyrighted name! Except with more swearing and significantly less preparation! Enjoy it! Woof.

Episode 189: Birdman, Marvel Phase Three, and Chuck's Strange Work Situation

Chuck and Brad kick off the week with some updates - Brad has some improv shows coming up, and Senior Discount is anxiously awaiting a possible show in the very near future!
Chuck tells the tale of a recent Senior Discount show in Providence - did the weather affect the attendance? The two turkeys (har har) then talk about their Thanksgivings...most of which was spent together.
After that, the two birdmen (what?) discuss the recent movie Birdman. While Chuck and Brad both thought very highly of this movie, you'll have to do more than read this synopsis to find out why they enjoyed it so much. You'll have to listen to the podcast.
After weeks of putting it off, it could be put off no more! Brad and Chuck finally discuss the Marvel Phase 3 announcement, and talk about which movie(s) they are most looking forward to. Finally, Chuck closes the podcast telling a story involving leaving a job in a strange manner. Did he get fired? Did he get laid off? Is there a convincing impostor claiming to be Chuck at work right now? No one knows!

Episode 188: Comics Come Home, Big Hero 6, Louis CK, and The Room

Chuck and Brad kick off the week with some updates - Senior Discount has a show tomorrow, on Thanksgiving Eve! Check them out!
Recently, Chuck and Brad went with friends and family to the Comics Come Home benefit starring, among others, Denis Leary, Marc Maron, Jimmy Fallon, and Jim Gaffigan. What did the guys think of the experience? Who had the funniest set? Once they've answered those (and other) questions, Chuck relays the tale of his trip to his girlfriend's brother's wedding. He finds this night to be podcast-worthy based mostly on the food there. Appetizers ahoy!
The Jake Gyllenhall movie Nightcrawler came out and the guys discuss their thoughts on that, as well as the Disney 3D-animated movie Big Hero 6. In less-pleasing movie news, the guys also went to see Dumb and Dumber To. So they discuss that as well. Chuck tells Brad about his recent trip to a taping of The Jerry Springer Show.
More recently, C&B went to see Louis CK do standup in Boston in a pretty intimate venue. Was Louis on his game, or did having the comedy heavyweights Chuck and Brad in the house throw him off? (Spoiler alert: he was, and we did not.) After that, they headed to see a midnight showing of cult classic The Room, accompanied by a Q&A with Director/Actor Tommy Wiseau.
In more festive news, the guys recently celebrated Thanksgiving with friends, then came home to watch the most recent WWE PPV Survivor Series and its surprising ending. All this and more on episode 188!

Episode 187: Maksood Tales, Chuck Ragan, and a Broken Guitar

Once again, Chuck and Brad are joined by Eric Maksood, in his first appearance as a member of Senior Discount. After introducing the first Web Coulier about Jerry Seinfeld and Wale, conversation turns to the second, as the three idiots discuss NoFX lead singer's interaction with a fan. Chuck drops some movie news on the group, spilling the beans about the forthcoming film Geezer, starring, among others, Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong.
Maksood has some stories after that. He shamelessly brags about taking a young lady's virginity when he was in England, then relays the tale of the time he was in the "American Idol Experience" at Disney World. Maksood is a weird dude.
Chuck and Brad try to run down the events of the past month, beginning with a Rob Zombie movie night. What did they think of House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects, and Lords of Salem? A brief mention of the trip to the Roger Williams Zoo Jack-o-Lantern spectacular, then an accounting of Chuck's trip to Brooklyn to see one of the Alkaline Trio discography shows.
Speaking of music, Chuck talks about his experience with Chuck Ragan when they played together at a recent show in West Warwick. Did Chuck Ragan demonstrate the good nature that matches his reputation?*
The music talk hits a sour........note......after that, as Chuck reveals the terrible truth about breaking Maksood's guitar on the day of their very first show together. In fact, a lot of things went wrong at Senior Discount's show with Bad Larry. Find out about all of them!**
Also, we talk about Brad's to North Carolina, and Senior Discount's show in Boston. Whew!
- Brad
*Yes.
**Most of them.

Episode 186 - Our Florida Adventure - Part 3

Recently, Chuck and Brad went to Florida with some of their pals, and this part three of the three-part episode. Let's lay it on the line here - this week's series of episodes that are more for the superfans of the Chuck and Brad Podcast, as they are basically the audio equivalent of home movies. Not the most exciting, hilarious or erotic series of episodes - just the recording of a good vacation with some good friends. This final Florida podcast is the final section of that trip, covering a shopping day, night in Downtown Disney, a day at Hollywood Studios, Halloween night, and the final lazy day in town.
This episode was recorded while still on the trip, while still in the townhouse we rented in Florida. Chuck and Brad were joined on this journey (both literal and figurative) by podcast mainstay Patrick Dennis and newcomer Sarah Reynolds. Much fun is had at everyone's expense, but especially Lou Perella's expense, as we wasn't there to record with us.
